Show battery percentage in the App when Cameras are plugged into Solar Panel

In a future update is it possible to have the charge percentage still show while the batteries are actively being charged?  Its not a huge deal but it would be nice to know how much charge is in the battery while the solar panel is charging the battery.

Personally I don't find it very accurate anyhow.

It's been said you can see it in the web app, but I don't use web apps. You could check try that.

It used to show a black battery symbol with no data in day and blue with % data at night in the app.

Now if I refresh the app in the cameras app page, which I don't much, it will show black battery symbols sometimes, then some aren't black, refresh again and their all blue.🤦🤷

Very finicky. IMHO. YMMV. I sort of just guess, if the sun was out there was some fair charging going on. Cloudy with rain, not so much 

I agree it would be nice and also nice if it was a little bit accurate. In winter I have to baby sit certain cameras to keep them charged when the sun moves.

Even with a tech on the phone his charge vs my charge data were very different. Months ago.
